Our brain is complex yet amazing at the same time. It can adapt and expand our memory, it can be trained, and it can gain mental toughness; the possibilities are endless. It is also why we must learn to take care of our brain and find ways to keep it healthy. And in this episode, we will learn all about brain health and what we can do to optimize its function. We will also tackle how to change our mindset and how we can benefit from it. If this is something you're interested in, join us and our guest, and let's take a moment to learn about optimizing brain function and promoting neuroplasticity in another excellent episode of Cup of Nurses.
